CC is the joy of my life and my bed dog. In the show ring, she earned BOTH majors with Group Firsts. As a special, CC was a Top 10 whippet, entirely owner-handled. Over the course of her specials career(1.5 years, plus some select shows in 05 & 06), CC won over 55 Best Of Breeds, 25 Group placements, 4 Group Firsts, and 5 American Whippet Club Selects. Of those Selects, two of them were back to back first selects at the AWC National Specialty, under Breeder Judges - Annie Clark(2005) and Bo Bengtson(2006). The other was a first select at the North Central Specialty under Mrs. Betty Stites(2004), and the final two selects were not ordered by the judge(North Central Specialty - Mrs. Mary Beth Arthur 2005, Mrs. Cindy Scott 2006). At the 2006 American Whippet Club North Central Specialty, CC took an Award Of Merit on Friday, and Best Of Breed on Sunday over 73 Whippets under Carol Duffy on route to a Group 1.

The story of how CC came into my life is an amazing one. At the time I had a retired racing greyhound, whom I enjoyed coursing. Well, the time had come to add another dog to the house and I had fallen in love with sight hounds. But, I was torn between the Pharaoh Hound and Whippet A very good friend had a Whippet, and informed me that her breeder was going out of town and needed someone to pet sit one of hers. This was the perfect opportunity to see how a Whippet fit in my home.

So, I contacted her breeder (Ellen Morgan, Yorktown Whippets) and arranged to look after one of her Whippets. When I picked the Whippet up, Ellen told me “Don’t get attached, this is my pick bitch. If she fits into your home, we can talk about a puppy from my next litter.” The week came and went, and of course…I got attached. When I returned the Whippet, I was crying and told Ellen if she ever parted with this one, to call me. A week later Ellen calls, “If you promise she will sleep in your bed every night, you can have her.” That Whippet was CC…and I can never thank Ellen Morgan of Yorktown Whippets enough for giving me such an incredible girl! CC is OFA Cardiac Normal and CERF'd.
